Eastover home hit twice by brazen burglars

An Eastover home has been burglarized for the second time in as many weeks.

The homeowner arrived home early Friday morning to find the home ransacked.

A woman checking on the home of one of her friends found it in shambles on June 28, and she said two strange men were inside.

"I screamed at him and (asked) him what he was doing and why he was there," the woman said.

The victim asked not to be identified because the criminals have not been caught, but she wants people to know her story.

"He said, 'How did you get in here?' and I said, 'I came in the back door. How did you get in here?' and then I told him to stop waving that gun in my face, and I said, 'Get out of here,' and then he went out the back door," the woman said.

The woman was shot, and is still recovering, but she was back at the house Friday, walking the perimeter with the homeowner after the second burglary.

She was asked if she believes it was the same burglars.

"I do," the woman said. "They came in the same way. They took all different things. They kind of did it the same way they did before."

The woman said the crimes aren't going to run her out of the city she loves.

"I think it's run a lot of people out of this area. I'm just not one of those people that runs real well," the woman said.
